Cynnal Cymru – Sustain Wales is introducing a new Eco Literacy course, Nabod Natur – Nature Wise and is able to offer up to 150 free online training places for community or voluntary groups in Wales that would like to protect and restore our natural environment.  The Nature Wise programme will teach attendees about how our natural environment operates, the threats it faces, and how we as individuals and organisations can all help nature thrive. The course will operate remotely and will be available monthly from October 2021 with a total commitment time of 5-6 hours.

Regarding the free places, they are especially targeting individuals and organisations who are not currently doing environmental work, such as faith groups or those working in the arts or social projects. However, all community and voluntary groups in Wales can sign up for free at: cynnalcymru.com/naturewise-free.

Report published into Chepstow traffic and travel – Monmouthshire  – The latest report on the cross-border Chepstow Transport Study recommends a 40mph A48 single carriageway bypass including a bridge over the Wye and active travel and public transport measures to deal with increasing traffic congestion in the town.  A recent Welsh Government freeze on new road-building may prove to be a major obstacle for this much-needed  project to overcome.
